Chapter 121: Candlelight
"There's a power outage?" Zhao Nan immediately realized something after entering the room and pressing the switch.
The first floor is a hall, next to the kitchen and bathroom, and then there is the staircase, and the total area should be about 100 square meters.
"It's weird to have electricity here. Meng Jian replied to Zhao Nan, and then took out a lighter from his body that he had found out of nowhere, and took a picture in the hall on the first floor.
In the middle of the hall is a sand and coffee table, and next to it is a display case with bottles and cans of what looks like cultural relics.
"This is the old Wu family in the south of the village, right? The horse workers seem to have said that they stayed here last night. Liu Ruifeng recalled something and told everyone.
"The conditions here are much better than those of the village chief's house and the Wu family's house. Lin Jing looked around and said.
"Well, if only there wasn't a power outage. Zhao Nan had a regretful expression.
"There was still electricity just now...... It couldn't be that after that light, it got dark and there was no electricity, right?" Meng Jian speculated.
"Light the candle. Lin Jing took out a pack of candles from her body that she had found out of nowhere, took one out and handed it to Meng Conversion.
"You're prescient......" Meng Jian put the candle to the lighter and lit it.
"Close the curtains first, or someone will see the light of the fire and come to us." Zhao Nan hurriedly reminded Meng Jian and the others.
"No, I had all the curtains closed when I came here earlier. The family has curtains on the windows, and they are very thick and opaque. Meng Jian lit the candle and placed it on the coffee table in the middle of the sand in the hall, giving the hall some light.
Because he didn't want the light to shine through the curtains, Meng Jian only lit a candle in total.
Zhao Nan walked out of the hall on the first floor uneasily, closed the door and looked at the window from the outside, confirmed that the candlelight would not shine through the curtains, and then returned to the house, and plugged in the iron bolt of the iron door.
"It's all dark outside. Zhao Nan tied the door bolt and talked to everyone.
"After the light, the night seems to have come early. Lin Jing replied to Zhao Nan.
"The environment is deteriorating further. Meng Jian nodded.
"Uh...... Anyway, I finally feel safe and warm here. Zhao Nan sat on the sand and snuggled up to Liu Ruifeng's side with a relieved expression.
"But I'm dying of hunger. Lin Jing sat down on the sand opposite and replied to Zhao Nan weakly.
"Don't say the word hunger...... As soon as you say you're hungry, my stomach immediately grows. Zhao Nan held his stomach with a depressed expression.
"Can you eat the candles? If you can, I'm going to eat this pack of candles." Lin Jing looked at the candles spread out on the coffee table and muttered to herself there.
"The only thing I can eat here now is human flesh, but unfortunately Ji De'an's meat was poisoned by the village chief, and Wang Wei was also poisoned to death, otherwise, ......" Meng Jian said halfway through and didn't say any more.
"Can you not talk about this topic?" Zhao Nan couldn't stand it and stopped Meng Conversion.
"Great writers, this is not the real world, we ...... In fact, people are probably just an aggregate of some kind of thought. The so-called corpse is just a certain setting in this different space, if you want to figure out a qiē and escape from here, you must change yourself and let yourself accept a lot of unacceptable things, so that you can analyze the shape more calmly and make the most advantageous choice. Meng Jian and Zhao Nan talked for a while.
"You mean that in order to survive, we should learn to eat human flesh?" Zhao Nan looked at Meng Jian with a strange expression.
"I didn't say that, I just said that all the food in this other world is rotten and moldy, and the only thing left to eat is human flesh. This environment is forcing us to attack and kill each other in order to survive. Now we are just hungry, and tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, if we can't find food, the primitive beast ~ sex caused by hunger will drive us to what extent, now it is impossible to predict at all. Meng Jian continued.
"If you are extremely hungry, will you kill Sister Lin and then eat her meat?" Zhao Nan asked Meng Conversion.
"I won't, but not necessarily for others. Meng Jian shook his head.
"Neither will I, I'd rather starve to death than eat human flesh, and neither will Ruifeng. Zhao Nan had a very resolute expression.
"Master Meng is talking about the village chief...... We left Xiaoli there...... Wouldn't it be too cruel?" Liu Ruifeng had a worried expression on his face. When he was in the village chief's courtyard before, he and Xiao Zhou Li were already very familiar.
"This is not the real world, and what we see here is not necessarily real, but probably something virtual by some powerful force. It's like a hunger game, and only the most determined will win. As for the situation we encountered this time, I estimate that the final result is likely to be when there are only the last two people left, and there will be enough evidence to confirm that the other party is a demon, and then we can kill the demon. Lin Jing continued.
"Then, a person faced that demon, and in the end, he was also killed by the demon?" Zhao Nan added.
"So none of the people who disappeared before came back alive. Just like now, you think it's safe for us to stay here, but have you ever thought about what if the demon is among us?" Lin Jing continued, and then glanced at Liu Ruifeng beside Zhao Nan.
"If that's the case, it's my life. Zhao Nan leaned on Liu Ruifeng's body and replied to Lin Jing faintly.
At this moment, on the ceiling of the hall where everyone was, there was a sound of footsteps knocking, knocking, knocking......
It doesn't look like footsteps, if you have to say it's footsteps, it's like someone jumping on one leg, otherwise the footsteps wouldn't seem so heavy.
"What's going on?" Zhao Nan's face immediately changed. I thought it was safe here, but I didn't expect such a strange thing to happen.
If it's not safe here, then what else is safe in Gujing Village?
"I'll go up and have a look. Meng Jian hesitated for a moment, then cautiously walked towards the stairs.
"I'll go with you. Lin Jing followed behind Meng Jian and went upstairs with him.
Meng Jian and Lin Jing went upstairs, Zhao Nan felt that the hall on the first floor suddenly became quiet and deserted, and the candlelight on the coffee table also swayed inexplicably, coupled with the decrease in temperature, Zhao Nan felt an indescribable chill in his heart.
"Ruifeng, how can there be footsteps upstairs? Is there anyone else here?" Zhao Nan asked Liu Ruifeng, who was holding her beside him, of course, just to make some noise and make himself brave.
No response.
"Ruifeng?" Zhao Nan subconsciously looked back......
She realized that Liu Ruifeng, who she had been snuggling up to just now, had actually frozen into an ice sculpture, and her whole face showed an extremely painful expression, and she couldn't move.
"Ah!!h
Zhao Nan screamed loudly.
"Xiao Nan! Xiao Nan!" Liu Ruifeng shook Zhao Nan's body and shouted at her loudly.
"Ah......" Zhao Nan looked at Liu Ruifeng, who was very normal in front of him, and finally relieved his breath for a long time.
"Hallucinations again?" Liu Ruifeng asked Zhao Nan.
"Hmm. Zhao Nan nodded.
"What did you see this time?"
"Nothing. Zhao Nan shook her head, she really didn't know what she was seeing, or if she was hallucinating because she was too worried.
Liu Ruifeng already had three ways to die in her hallucination, right? What the hell is going on? Will he die?
There was a chaotic sound of footsteps upstairs, as if there was a fight, this sound had been going on just now, but Zhao Nan was in a hallucination and didn't hear it, but at this time it was very clearly heard in his ears.
"What's going on up there, are there monsters? are they fighting?" Zhao Nan snuggled tightly to Liu Ruifeng's side, and asked him in fear. At this time, it seemed that it would be safer to run outside, what if Meng Jian and Lin Jing were defeated?
But Gujing Village, which was pitch black and extremely cold outside, made Zhao Nan tremble in his heart when he thought about it.
"Master Meng, they seem to have fought with someone. Liu Ruifeng speculated.
"Who could it be?" the expression on Zhao Nan's face became more and more frightened.
"It's hard to say......" Liu Ruifeng shook his head.
The fighting continued for a long time before it stopped, and then it became extremely quiet.
If the battle is over, why can't Master Meng and the two of them come down? Could it be that they were killed by monsters?
"They...... Who won?" Zhao Nan asked Liu Ruifeng beside him.
"Shall I go up and have a look?" Liu Ruifeng said to Zhao Nan.
"Don't ......" Zhao Nan hurriedly grabbed Liu Ruifeng's arm.
"If Master Meng and they won, why don't they come down now? If they lose......" Liu Ruifeng didn't continue, he was obviously worried about this matter.
"If they lose, the guy upstairs or ...... It's time for the monsters to come down and kill us. Zhao Nan answered in a trembling voice.
Now Zhao Nan's voice trembled not only because of fear, but also because of the cold, the temperature of the air seemed to be further decreasing, becoming colder and colder.
At this moment, there was a painful groan~ from the top of the second floor, as if it was Lin Jing's voice, looming, and it was not really heard in the dark.
"Master Meng!Miss Lin!" Liu Ruifeng shouted twice in the direction of the stairs.
The painful moaning upstairs ~ groans came down again, as if shouting "help...... I ......" two words.
"Let's go up and have a look, what if Master Meng and the others are injured and lying on the ground, waiting for us to go up and help?" Liu Ruifeng, as a doctor, felt that he should still go up and take a look at this time, after all, Meng Jian and Lin Jing were in danger instead of them. rs
